    We stopped into Digby's Pub and Patio before the Indiana Purdue game after walking over from our hotel. It was extremely cold out, so we stayed inside and grabbed seats near the bar. We ordered a couple drinks during happy hour and shared an order of cheese bricks, which are basically oversized rectangular cheese sticks. Everything came out quickly and the bar service was friendly and efficient, which was appreciated given the pregame crowd. Overall, this is a solid bar option in Lafayette and worked well for a quick stop before heading to the game. Nothing fancy, but fast, friendly, and reliable for drinks and pub snacks.

    Finally I can throw all the stars for this place! Digby's has become the once a month hotspot for burgers! And those cheese bricks, o my lanta, you have not lived, loved, put this down on your list of things before you die. Buffalo milk mozzarella deep fried cheese bricks, this is it, a spiritual moment. I have converted many friends. The sweet goo of raspberry sauce to dip, hallelujah! Whoever came up with this appetizer has won their wings and halo. The burger of the month has made this my church for the beef encounters of the divine bovine kind. Sadly Scotty's is no more and Big League stopped their pb and j waffle burger. But hello father this is a win, Pickle Rick, Mediterranean, November and December need their own cathedral to Caramel Apple, Octoberfest, and chipotle jam burgers. Yes they're that good! Forget most of the menu, it's all burgers, cheese bricks, and surprisingly the ahi app had us tickled pink too. Service is spotty, there's a nice four percent savings on using cash but they forget to mention it. There's also a great rewards program, also often forgotten. Perhaps the most disappointing is nothing on draft only bottles. The cocktails are very small except for the excellent Bloody Mary. Parking is easy especially weekends and after five. Summer patio is a massive win tho it does get awfully noisy with live music. Besides AJs and Black Sparrow, Lafayette has no other place I can do easily recommend for a burger and life changing buffalo cheese bricks.

    Hit or miss here. I've had some really great orders and some real misses. Seems it depends on who ya get and when the service is. I enjoy the laid back atmosphere but debating if I should still eat here when at Purdue.

    Tenderloin, the size of a child...almost
    Ian C.

    Came in Friday evening about six, and between indoor and outdoor seating, was about half full. Pros - Portion- got the tenderloin and as you can see from the picture, it was about the size of a small child (kidding...kind of...) - Options- While the menu is not large, there is something for everyone Cons - Prices- Some things are very reasonably priced, some not so much. - Service- the service is terrible! VERY unfriendly and every time they interact, act like they are at the dentist. They seemed more interested in talking amongst themselves (bartenders and waitresses) than helping customers...but what do I know. Overall, it could have been worse, but if wait staff were just a tad more friendly, it would greatly increase most customer satisfaction. For my meal, tenderloin with their housemade chips, and water, it was $15 and change.

    Cheese bricks! I'm a sucker for some fried cheese and these were great. Each "brick" is a 1/4 lb some bring some help or you may go into a cheese comma. I also tried the fried pork loin sandwich and it was excellent. Lots of crispy pork. They had some great food and drink specials the night I went. Our group sat on the patio. It had excellent views of the old courthouse across the street. Lastly our service was fantastic. We had a decent sized group and everything came out in a timely manner. Drinks were refilled regularly. And most importantly the server was friendly.

    A cute pub and friendly staff. We made reservations, but didn't really need to, we learned. We started with the cheese bricks and deep fried pickles. Both came out piping hot with great dipping sauce. I loved the berry sauce with the cheese sticks. They were HUGE. Three of us couldn't eat them all. I had the lamb sliders and they were so good! Loved the lamb option and the freshness of the tzatziki, feta, and onion on them. I had a side of the fries with the cheese and buffalo style sauce. SO GOOD! My husband had the pulled pork and my daughter the Caesar salad. Everything was great! I also had the mojito and it was refreshing and delicious!

    I've been to Digby's a few times since my last review, most recently this past weekend with a friend. We split an order of cheese bricks (which I highly recommend for any cheese fan -- the rum raspberry sauce really takes it over the top!). Their salads are also available as wraps, and I got the chicken bacon ranch wrap (delicious). We sat on the patio (my first time), and it was so relaxing! Try to make a reservation if you want to guarantee a patio table on a weekend. We lucked out! Service was a little slower than on previous trips, but it was a very busy evening.

    I've been here a few times and I can say this a reliable spot. The food is pretty good for a bar and the service is good. The waitresses are always nice and help with the menu. The food does take a little while to come out but if you're going for the vibes the time will just pass. The outdoor patio is the highlight of the place and I usually sit out there whenever I go. Not a lot of Sun and cool enough with the plants around. You can also control the music with the juke box inside. I also like that they have games you can play with friends. All in all, pretty good food, good prices (and deals through the week), and great service

    Amazing food Large portions…read moreGreat beer Live Irish music Reasonably priced Servers were great

    I was so excited to go to what a thought would be a solid Irish restaurant. Reviews online were…read moregood and pictures looked good. We live in Indianapolis and were in the area so we were really looking forward to trying this place. However, the food was overpriced and low quality. I ordered the Connemara Chicken. This restaurant uses boxed Idaho flakes for their mashed potatoes. The kind you just add water to... the ones that are kind of like a paste texture. I could tell right away. The chicken tasted reheated/chewy and unflavored. The sauce wasn't bad but it had a unique flavor. I liked the vegetables (I loved that they were cooked well and not al dente) but my partner said they tasted unflavored to her. Honestly, I was most disappointed by the mashed potatoes. I don't know how an Irish restaurant- or any restaurant - doesn't use real potatoes. Especially when the dish costs $19. For that price, dehydrated flakes are absolutely crazy. I know inflation is high but come on. My dollar matters too and when I decide to dine out on a rare occasion I'd like to be getting quality food. I asked the waitress- who was very attentive and sweet- if this is what they always use for potatoes or if it was an off day and she said they always make them with the Idaho box of flakes. Again, she was super sweet and very attentive. We had no issues with service at all. But using fake mashed potatoes at a restaurant is really disappointing. Especially for the price. Also, the water. The first glass of water we were given tasted normal. The refill tasted super weird so my partner mentioned it. The waitress told us she knows it's weird, apologized, and said that the water in one area of the restaurant tastes weird but the other area tastes fine. She offered to get us water from the "good" faucet after that which we appreciated. Odd to me that they are aware the water tastes off/bad (and have an alternative that's better) but still serve the bad stuff to customers. My partner did really like her tenderloin sandwich. It was crispy and had good flavor. The pub chips were okay but they didn't have seasoning and many were dry/airy and as though they may have been sitting a while. Kinda weird. We talked about possibly coming back when they have live bands to give it another shot and maybe just get an appetizer instead of entrees because we really did like the service and the vibe there.

    Prices are hoping visitors and Purdue tourists cannot go more than a mile from campus. Sadly the…read moremenu has wildly bloated numbers double what many similar restaurants offer, Town and Gown, Bistro 501, RedSeven deliver and reach above expectations unlike the dull expensive dry roast recently eaten this past week. I cannot comprehend this place, after four visits with friends, unable to recommend any dish or drink as a standout win up against the cost. Let me nail down each dish we had this past Wednesday, the grilled bacon was entirely fine, quite tough but nice fatty flavors, I like Teay's River candied bacon app better. Oyster was good, east coast briny does me right. Our Old Fashioneds were insanely expensive without offering any memorable flavors, balance seemed restrained neither giving a forward bite or a smooth sweetness. Strawberry Lemon sprits was similar, an overpriced kid's slushy. Asparagus was fine. Potato sides surprisingly flavorless, we all couldn't believe how dull the potatoes were. My sister's salmon looked half the size of Town and Gown's while costing fifty percent more and offering half the food. She did finish the ocean protein but left most of the rice. Thankfully the desserts were better, bread pudding somewhat dry and needing a sparkle of that smooth actual pudding but the winner was definitely the key lime. Rich and dense, dreamy and tangy, I got happy! Sure the atmosphere and staff is enjoyable, providing some fresh city vibes compared to the homely and old school Mountain Jacks. However Jacks and Mcgraws Steakhouse both do far better as culinary is concerned. Would be exciting to see this place fix up their inconsistency, out of touch pricing, or they'll be the next to go the way of Bowen Bistro during the next economic crash.

    Lovely, classy bar on Purdue's campus! The drinks and mocktails here are fabulous. They also offer…read moresmall bites here. Such a great place to meet up with people or to hang out solo. Highly recommended!
